What is the most important thing your parents have ever taught you?

The most important thing my parents have ever taught me was to make sure who ever I hang with make sure they are your true friends because they will get you in trouble and let you take all the blame. The reason I say that because my parents think that I'm hanging with the wrong age group because they are alot older than I am. Also they think its a negative impact on my life. I think its a good thing to hang with people older than you because sometimes you get mature faster when your hanging with older people. Which I think have gotten mature over the years because of my older friends they teach me how to act mature so I can grow up faster. And also take on greater responsibilities. For instance if I'm going pout with my older friends she always" say if they doing something they shouldn't be come home or don't let them get you in trouble". But I trust my friends enough not to let me get in trouble because me and my friends always take up for one another if one gets in trouble. To close I just want to say that my mother is very over protective when it comes to me and my friends but I still think that hanging with a older age group is good for some people.
